Systems and methods for encrypted multifactor authentication using imaging devices and image enhancement
An authentication code may be encrypted in optical indica. Optionally, AES, RSA, DES, and/or a hashing function may be utilized to encrypt the authentication code. An image of the authentication code may be captured from a device having a display using a digital camera. The image may be in a compressed format and transmitted over a network to an image analysis system. The image analysis system may decode the optical indicia to obtain the encoded authentication data and may perform decryption on the decoded data. If needed, the image analysis system may perform image enhancement prior to performing decoding, including contrast enhancement, deblurring, and/or image rotation. Image enhancement may be performed using a neural network. The authentication data and location data associated with the digital camera may be utilized to authenticate the device.
